To estimate the proportion of U.S. adults aware and knowledgeable of the 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans.
Analysis is based on a cross-sectional national sample of adults in the 2009 (n = 4281) HealthStyles survey. We estimated the prevalence of adults who reported awareness of government physical activity guidelines and who were knowledgeable of the currently recommended moderate-intensity physical activity guideline (ie, 150 minutes per week) from the 2008 Guidelines.
In 2009, the percent of adults who reported being aware of government physical activity (PA) guidelines was 36.1%. The percent of adults knowledgeable of the moderate-intensity physical activity guideline was less than 1% (0.56%).
Most U.S. adults lack sufficient awareness and knowledge of the 2008 Guidelines, putting them at risk for failure to meet them. The nation needs more effective communication strategies to translate and disseminate PA guidelines.
评估美国成年人对 2008 年《美国人身体活动指南》的知晓和了解程度。
分析基于 2009 年(n=4281)HealthStyles 调查的成年人的横断面全国样本。我们从 2008 年指南中估计了报告知晓政府身体活动指南和了解当前推荐的中等强度身体活动指南(即每周 150 分钟)的成年人的比例。
2009 年,报告知晓政府身体活动(PA)指南的成年人比例为 36.1%。了解中等强度身体活动指南的成年人比例不足 1%(0.56%)。
大多数美国成年人对 2008 年指南的知晓度和了解度不足,使他们有无法达到指南要求的风险。国家需要更有效的沟通策略来转化和传播 PA 指南。
